I said, " I need to run out for a bit, please make sure there is water in the beans." Upon returning home, an acrid smell wafted outside. I knew something was terribly wrong.

If you're a super Mom, then you are most likely at school every day for prompt pick-up, and asking other moms how you can help out at school. In the mornings, after you pack a nutritious snack and lunch, you're in the classroom asking the teacher if you can help collate and staple. By the time May rolls around, if you're at all normal, you've finally hit the wall and are experiencing Volunteer Mom Burnout.

As the weather warms, my friends are already asking me when they can come over to swim. My child can swim, but I'm always wary of guests that bring small children. You can never tell who is really water-safe, especially when you have multiple children splashing around in a pool at the same time.

I am either asleep at the wheel, or have been really busy, but either way, I have just educated myself on the concept of penny auction websites. These websites, are apparently legal, but if you analyze the concept, you will see that it's really just a new form of 'shopping'  gambling.

This is a fun summer afternoon activity that the kids will love. Make your own non-toxic slime! Ooey Gooey, but oh so fun. This is a great way to get your child to take a bath, because they will have no choice after playing with this.
